Tatiana Ferreira is Chemist (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ, Brazil), M.Sc. and PhD in Engineering of Chemical and Biochemical Processes at School of Chemistry (UFRJ, Brazil). She is Professor at the Department of Organic Processes at School of Chemistry (UFRJ, Brazil). Her research focuses on valorization of renewable resources with emphasis on waste and by-product use, industrial biotechnology and biorefinery development. Her research approach involves bioconversion of renewable resources to products, such as 2,3-butanediol, 1,3-propanodiol, ethanol, butanol, organic acids, using anaerobic bacteria. Special focus is given to the evaluation of the sustainability of biorefinery concepts utilizing renewable resources as feedstocks to produce bio-based chemicals, biofuels and value-added products.
